Additional Information About Minimum Required Investment

Shareholders can open a fund account with as little as $500 and
make subsequent investments in any amount. The minimum
investment is waived if you make regular investments weekly,
semi-monthly, or monthly through automatic deductions through
your bank checking or savings account. Currently, Putnam is
waiving the minimum, but reserves the right to reject initial
investments under the minimum.

74P
On September 26, 2008, the fund entered into an Agreement with
another registered investment company (the Seller) managed by
Putnam Management. Under the Agreement, the Seller sold to the
fund the right to receive, in the aggregate, $2,194,515 in net
payments from Lehman Brothers Special Financing, Inc. in
connection with certain terminated derivatives transactions (the
Receivable), in exchange for an initial payment plus (or minus)
additional amounts based on the funds ultimate realized gain (or
loss) with respect to the Receivable.  The Receivable will be
offset against the funds net payable to Lehman Brothers Special
Financing, Inc. and is included in the Statement of assets and
liabilities within Payable for investments purchased.  Future
payments under the Agreement are valued at fair value following
procedures approved by the Trustees and are included in the
Statement of assets and liabilities. All remaining payments
under the Agreement will be recorded as realized gain or loss.
